The thing is that the fans of the series want a full retail game. i don't remember burnout fans loving the game cause it had a Bird's Eye View perspective. I don't criticize that particular gameplay style. It's just people waited for a couple of years to get an original new actual Burnout experience. Of course Burnout Crash could be an exceptional game, but everybody expected otherwise by Criterion. I wanted too a sequel to the classic Burnout gameplay style, cause i grew to love the franchise for just the elements it had all these years. So, the frustration is logical and very well justified.

In the end, whoever appreciates a good and well constructed videogame, will cherish this new addition to the series. For now, we all have to sympathize all the potential negative comments we read in every article regarding Burnout Crash for all the above explained reasons...

''The game is also Electronic Arts' first Xbox LIVE® Arcade title to feature a game mode designed exclusively for Kinect™ in which two teams can use gestural controls to crash and burn in a party battle! With a variety of player vehicles to unlock, high-value targets to seek and destroy, and crazy special features to discover, players will be hooked on an adrenaline-fuelled road rampage to the top of the heap.
